PIPETTE STAND | THERMOMETER STAND: for Bulb/Measuring pipettes, Thermometers

•  A variety of multipurpose Pipette and Thermometer Stands that hold bulb or measuring pipettes and thermometers used in the science laboratory.

(Wikipedia excerpt: ..."..thermometer stands ...A pipette is a glass tube used for moving a specific volume of a solution...A smaller, less accurate version, known as a teat pipette is made of plastic and is filled by squeezing a plastic bubble at the top. A pipette used for the delivery of small fractions of a milliliter of a liquid is called a micropipette.

A thermometer is an instrument for measuring or showing temperature (how hot or cold something is). One type of thermometer is a narrow, concealed glass tube containing mercury or alcohol which extends along the tube as it expands. Another type is a digital thermometer, which uses electronics to measure temperature.

A laboratory thermometer is a tool used in laboratories, places where scientists and science techs perform experiments and measure things. A laboratory thermometer can measure temperature very closely. A laboratory thermometer can be put into the liquid or other thing that the scientist wants to measure. A laboratory thermometer has a long stem with a silver bulb at the end. The silver color in the bulb usually means there is mercury in it. Mercury becomes bigger as the temperature becomes hotter. But mercury is a poison to humans. Mercury-in-glass thermometers are less used in the 21st century because people want digital, alcohol-filled, and organic-based thermometers instead...")
